The Tracy is a 132’ oil rig supply boat. It sits up right in about 70’
of water. It is a 100’ north of the Jay Scutti tug wreck. A cable
attaches the two of them. There is a 4’ barracuda that lives in the
wreck and he is not shy when it comes to divers. The ship has some
large open spaces that you can enter.
The Tracy was seized by US Customs for illegal drug trafficking. It was sunk at a cost of $11,334 on 2 March 1999, and renamed the Ken Vitale, in honor of a well liked local scuba instructor.
